Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff urges the Trump administration to seek congressional approval for any further military intervention in Syria.

Ossoff issued a statement on the Syria strikes saying, “If intelligence confirms that Assad’s forces attacked civilians with chemical weapons, a swift punitive strike on Syrian military targets is reasonable.”

“The more than fifth cruise missiles reportedly launched suggests a significant strike, and any further action should require congressional approval.”

“Other than the deployment of U.S. Special Operations Forces to support coalition operations against ISIS, I urge the administration to avoid getting drawn into an intractable ground war that cannot be resolved by U.S. military forces,” Ossoff continued.
